  • Summary

    This chapter explores the classroom dynamics of a Black professor at three predominantly White institutions (PWIs). After earning their respective academic credentials, some Black students pursue careers at postsecondary institutions to research and teach. The adjustment from graduate student to full-time professor may be challenging. Most graduate programs do not prepare Black students to be lone people of color in their respective academic departments. For Black faculty, the challenge is immense where stereotype threat and implicit bias may exist in the postsecondary classroom.

    Stereotype threat and implicit bias can have an impact and highlight the discomfort some Black faculty experience while teaching. Learning to navigate the terrain may predict Black faculty members’ success or failure at PWIs. The chapter concludes with strategies of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs that can be implemented to help undergraduate students, graduate teaching assistants, human resource departments, and decision-making gatekeepers.
